I don't believe this page is a threat to my computer security.

Looks to me like they are running their own agenda under the pretense of security. I was browsing everything Webroot I could find before buying and glad I did.

Blocking a page as a threat to my security on this forum? I understand the problem and can sympathize with it. The solution takes me back to what I was using.

You do know you can get an extended trial before buying right?

There has been often than not legit websites blocked temporarily by security solutions until these have been reported as FP.

McAfee had several in the past, even ESET had it.

Typically it happens where the link that contains for redirection is known to be malicious cause it happen to me on those rare case especially in Google searching without going to any links.
